In this double length episode, explore the clash between the religious and the spiritual on the subject of homosexuality, bisexuality, and transgender. Discover why religious, Bible based arguments against homosexuality are founded upon misunderstanding and mistranslation both spiritual and literal. Packed with pertinent information founded in the historical and linguistic study of the actual texts of the Bible (especially the infamous Leviticus verses), this episode tackles the problem of belief based homophobia both from a spiritual standpoint and an academic/theological standpoint. Whether religious or spiritual, there is much to be learned here to help humanity understand the divine reality of the feminine and masculine within themselves. Only by removing the blinders of belief based intolerance can we all step forward in understanding and acceptance of what lies within all of humanity.
